Language Learning Motivation: Theories And Application
Authors : Benhamlaoui Lamine .
Abstract
Theorizing bout and designing teaching methodologies aims at improving the teaching and learning processes. As a matter of fact, neither teaching nor learning can take place in the appropriate conditions unless both teachers and learners are motivated to undertake them. Experiencing different methodologies and motivational techniques in language classes aims at fitting learners’ needs, goals and expectations from attending those classes. Whereas teachers’ motivation is a wide field of investigation that needs to be deeply studied, this paper will shed light on learners’ motivation. It attempts to highlight some of the most important facets of language learning motivation by surveying: (1) the theoretical horizon of the psychological conception of motivation through the different motivation theories and views that stress learners’ needs, goals and expectations...etc; (2) language learning motivation and the most influential studies made in the field; and (3) treating manipulating motivation as to provide helpful guidelines to language teachers.
